Prohibition has been defeated in
Texas by a majority which though not
yet known is certainly large enough
to show that the sentiment of the peo-
pie of the State as whole is decidedly
against it,. The Prohibtionisls made
a strong fight and the most influential
men of the State including Senator
elect Reagan, Senator Maxey and
others were on their side. One thing
which probably contributed to their
defeat is the fact that local option is
quite popular in the South and is
generally regarded as the simplest and
most efficacious way OF dealing with
the liquor question.
Where local sentiment is against
liquor selling ii is difficult to see how
prohibition could succeed. Local
option does not undertake more than
il can carry out while prohibition does.

he remained until he had time 10 think,
when he gave bond for his appearance at
the Mayors court.
At Micanopy Monday night William Dur
ham mistook his married sister, Amanda
Gamble, for chicken thief and shot her
dead At late hour Monday night Amanda
Gamble and her husband quarreled, as Is
quite customary with colored people, and
the woman concluded that she would go and
pass the night with her mother. To reach
her mothers house it was necessary to
pass through her brothers yard.
1t SC happened that Durham, having
recently had several chickens stolen,
was out in his yard with gun on the look
out for thieves Seeing the woman hurry
ing through the yard, he called on her to
halt, and us she paid no attention TO his
command he fired at her, and she fell dead
on the spot. Durham, thinking he had
dispatched the robber of his poultry roosts,
fastened to the PROSTATE body to find that
he had killed his sister. On finding out his
mistake he went and gave himself up to the
officers.
At Madison early risers Thursday morn
ing witnessed lively battle on the streets
between two knocking birds, which resulted
III the death of one of them. For some time
they had occupied positions on the neighbor-
ing buildings seeming to rival each other in
pouring forth the sweetest of melodies on
the morning air, and their hearers were en-
Unused with the sweetness thereof. Sudden
ly with a nervous trill Of the voice one of
them made an advance toward his adverse
ry and alighted on the horse rack between
the stores of DR.. Mays and Mrs. Bass. The
other uttered a derisive scream and flew
toward it. They came together with clash
and closed upon each other, falling to the
ground. The battle had opened in earnest,
and the spectators, brought out by the COM
bined melody Of the sweet singers, were hor-
ror stricken at their endeavors to destroy
one another Suddenly desperate lunge
was made, the combatants were a few feet
in the air, when the wings of one was seen
to move convulsively in an attempt to get
away, and its form fell to the ground limp
and lifeless The victor triumphantly re-
sumed his trilling from his former perch on
the houset0p, screaming now and then in an
exulting tone in which no sadness for the
death it had caused was portrayed. The
body was picked up, when it was discovered
that death had been produced by the victor's
peak piercing the brain through the eye OF
the vanquished.

do this that people who go on year after year
paying out large sums of money to incompetent
physicians and receive no cure or even relief, or
end in filling premature grave, as was nearly
my case, may be induced to make trial OF the
wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES.
At the age of three months rash made its
appearance ON my face. A physician was called.
He said teething was the cause. He prescribed
some cooling medicine, but the sores spread to
my ears and head Another NJ. D. was called.
He professed to know all about the case, called
it Kings Evil" and prescribed gunpowder,
birthstone and lard mixed into a salve, but the
disease continued. They could not do anything
with it, Another prescribed borax, water and
-four; another, llnseed pOuticeS- None or them
did me any good at all, but made me worse.
The disease continued unabated; it spread to my
arms and legs, till was laid up entirely, and
from continual sitting on the floor on a pillow
my limbs contracted so lost all control of them,
aud was utterly helpless Ny mother would
have to lift me out and into bed. could get
around the house on my hands and feet, but
could not get my clothes on at all, and had to
wear a sort of dressing gown My hair had all
matted down or fallen off, and my head face
and ears were one scab, and l had to have
towel ON my head all the time IN the summer to
keep the flies off. My parents consulted a prom
inent physician and surgeon here in Chicago (the
other physicians before mentioned were of Dun
das and Hamilton, Canada He said he could
do nothing for me, that the chances were that
would grow out of it, or that it would strike in
wardly and kill me in time. He wanted to cut
the sinews of my legs so that 1 could walk, but
l would not let him, for if did get better I
would have no control Of them.
The disease continued in this manner until
was seventeen years old and one day in January,
1879, in the Chicago Tribune, read an account
of your medicines. They described my case so
exactly that 1 thought, as last resort, to give
them a trial.
WhenI first applied the CUTICURA was all
raw and bleeding from scratching myself, but
ately something had not done for years, the
effect was so soothing.

turned mp. About daylight Thursday
morning he drove up to the stable and left
the horse and buggy. The animal had been
almost driven to death. Blood dIfpped
from its mouth and nostrils while its rllmp
and sides were swollen with welts made by
the whip. The horse could not have gone
another mile. An investigation showed
that the negro and his companion
had gone fifteen miles beyond
Sandy Cross, down in Oglethorpe county,
and drove in less than twenty hours "a dis
lance of about seventy miles The horse
looked as if it had had neither food nor
water. Dir Reaves is at work trying to
save the animal. but he thinks il is ruined
for life by the drive. The brazen conduct
between the negro and white woman has
aroused the decent people at Athens, and
Thursday Mayor Hodgson gave the police
orders TO notify these women to ut once
leave the city or 10 arrest and place them i'll
the calaboose if they refused to obey. He
has also served notice on the landlords of
several old and well-known houses of in

to do so they would be arraigned and held

New York Stock Exchange

New YORK, March 4.-That the adj
journment of Congress was more than
discounted was shown by the course of
prices to day. The market was much
duller than the previous DAYS of this
week until late in the afternoon, and
trading up to that time was almost en-
tlrely devoid of feature, and the ad-
journment of Congress leaving several
appropriation bills unsettled, encour-
aged some selling, which slowly sagged
prices off. Pacific Mail was an excep-
ton to the rule and showed consider
able strength upon the revival of the
story that it's differences with the
Transcontinental roads had been salts
factorlly adjusted. The Opening was
rather heavy, most stocks showing de-
clines of small fractions from last even
ing'ss final quotations. Trading was
light and while some irregularity was
noticeable, prices were generally heavy,
slowly sagging off, which continued
until noon, IA which Pacific Mail
was prominent. A movement of
Jersey Central began at noon,
and the general list responded
slowly, but before 2 p. m. the selling
pressure forced prices down again, and
the lowest figures were recovered in the
last hour. The close was moderately
active and heavy to weak, at or near
the lowest prices reached. Government
bonds heavy and dullfor the AIS.
